We do not talk, as a society, about how good he and Jane Krakowski are in “Go.”

Irrevocably and permanently damaging the civil rights of dozens of ICE guys by playing the Butthole Surfers' 1988 album "Hairway To Steven" from a boombox outside the Hilton Garden Inn in suburban Minneapolis where they're all staying. JD Vance does a tweet about it that starts "Wow. Really?"

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line.

If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.
